The Spice Girls were one of my favorite popular music groups when I was younger. In fact, even though my best friend now seems to feel embarrassed about it, I can remember that we had our own mini Spice Girls group when we were eight and nine years old. …

Lil Wayne —“ The Dedication 3
Lil Wayne dropped the dedication 3 in 2009, and it was definitely a letdown, coming from a Lil Wayne fan. Lil Wayne performed well on the mixtape but the members from his entourage failed to shine.
Firstly, DJ Drama, the mixtape DJ, talks and yells …

This album is really great. I was actually very surprised to find out that this album was not an actual album of new material but it was a compilation album that consisted of the songs Kid Rock had written for his early albums in the 1990s, when he was …

Saved is the title track of an album released by Bob Dylan. The track starts off with an upbeat guitar and organ part which has a very gospel-like sound to it, particularly once Dylan comes in with the vocals and the lyrics of the song. As if this wasn’t …

Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland is about how much Nelly likes Kelly. This song is a love song if I have never even heard it and just read reviews about it I would figure that much out. This song is an awesome song in my book but that�s …

This little amp really packs a wallop. But the only problem I have is that the sound doesn’t have enough bass for my taste. The overdrive is very sharp and crisp. And this particular model is very very good for extremely crunchy guitar riffs. …

This was a very lovely and wonderful song that really reminds me how blessed I am and I tend to appreciate my life everyday as God is the one that sustains every thing I need.
The Song Forgiver was sung beautifully by Becky Lucas who is the lead vocalist of …

To be honest, I don’t really care for Britney Spears in any way shape or form. Her live performances sound terrible and she truly did not and does not set an example for her younger fans, primarily girls in their ‘tween years. However, one song of hers has …

Furnished Souls for Rent is Nuno Bettencourt’s 5th album where he plays in a “real band” (His 4th album Schizophonic was Nuno playing and doing everything on the songs) and features a much more stripped down and energetic sound than with Extreme or his solo albums. It has the …

The lyrics and the music both is so great and touch. Like the other …

The song walk over you is one of AC/DC’s songs that have a lot of aggression in. This song off the album Highway to Hell would have to be one of my favorites on the album. The intro is made up of slow distortion power chords played by …

I have been a huge fan on Troye Sivan ever since he released his debut single “The Fault in Our Stars” a few years back. His voice is eternally soothing, he’s not in for the great vocals you’ll find in Ed Sheeran or Bruno Mars songs but there’s definitely …

I just recently went to an All American Rejects concert and I have to say, it was a ton of fun. I’m a guy in my early twenties, and despite the fact that most other people at the concert were screaming high school girls, I had a ton …

This “unassuming” (for lack of a better word) guy has one of the richest, raspiest voices I’ve heard from a male singer–especially someone local. Apparently he’s been on the music scene for many years, and I think actually signed a deal with LaVista Records once upon a …

Delta is the newest CD that is released by singer/songwriter Delta Goodrem. The album being released in 2007, has many new and fresh songs by Delta.

Overview - Dylan And The Dead, a collaborative live album featuring the songs of Bob Dylan backed by The Grateful Dead, is an album whose concept or idea just sounds brilliant to me. Both Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead are two of my favorite artists of all time …

What Would I Want? Sky is a song by Animal Collective and the second track on their EP Fall Be Kid. Opening up instrumentally, vocals do enter the mix but they are more of hums rather than actual lyrics which don’t enter the song until this instrumental section has …

Watching Take That’s music video for shine is quite interesting now that I know that Robbie Willians was the focus behind the song. For a start it’s all quite elaborate for Take That. Mark Owen walking down what looks like a silver stairway to heaven. However I think this …

The Bigger Picture - When Western Trap Is No More Fun
I have had an extremely pessimistic attitude towards trap music for a long time. The position on this is clear: this genre does not have a big future, it is difficult to develop, and due to the huge number …

Overview - Blues For Allah, The Grateful Dead’s eighth effort, is primarily a pretty melodic record for the most part and it’s also pretty strong for the most part. Garcia showcases a lot of range in his guitar playing, going from the more melodic soloing on the first two …

Nickelback is my favorite band. They sing so many good songs like Someday, this is how you remind me, photographs, if everyone cared, and rockstar. I love to just relax in my room and listen to the best band sing their hearts out. They are a …

I first encountered Emily, who is …

Anyway, she is gifted with a good voice so the TV station who produced the show gave her a music album. …

Three years does not make Hoobastank experienced many changes, at least from their style of music. ForNever, the four albums that came after Every Man For Himself in 2006, seemed to be a repetition of this band. My Turn, the first single released on October 13, 2008, is the …

Burton’s movies, while not perfect adaptations of Batman, did get quite a bit right. Burton did have a solid understanding of the dynamics between characters. It’s true Joker did not really kill Bruce’s parents, but I understand why they set it up that way. While he …

Pink’s Raise Your Glass single is I daresay, the artist’s best so far. No doubt about it, she has had so many hits before, but as a huge Pink fan, I think this single is the one that sticks in memory the most. I can …

I rarely appreciate R & B music and thinks these songs are just plain addition to the music genre but does not have “sense” to begin with. I guess I was proved wrong when Boyz II Men have emerged from the scene and made it well in the charts, …

Kim is a song by Eminem which appears on his album The Marshall Mathers LP. The track opens up in an innocent enough fashion with Eminem talking to his daughter, but a listener should soon hear the cynical tone which emerges from Eminem’s voice. For those of you who …

After Neon Ballroom’s succes, the power-trio released Diorama.Altough the album still quite slow, some songs like “One Way Mule” and “The Lever” still carry the band’s hard side.When it was released, after listening to it, at first …

I am as gullible to any “Earth Shattering” sound explosion of Orchestral music as a doomsayer is to the End Of The World. I am already a huge fan of some of the best film score writers such as Danny Elfman …

“Far Behind” is quite possibly Candlebox’s biggest single. In fact, it is the only song I actually know by them off hand anyways. The song reached the Billboard Top 20 in July of 1993 but wasn’t officially released as a single until 1994. The song appears on their self …

Octavarium is a rock music CD by Dream Theater. Although it is not my favorite of their CD’s it is still very good.
